Thread: So Here's The Thing...

Well, I surely can't give you any advice since I'm also new with this, but I can tell you what worked for me

Couple of months ago I've found my grand-grand father razors and thought how it would be if I just clean up all that rust and shave with them. Googled up, found straightrazorplace, found some videos on restoration but I was kinda disappointed about all that tools I'd have to get, not to mention a place to install them

But then, I saw a video on youtube with a fellow cleaning up a razor with a dremel and I said "well, it's not that expensive and I could use one in the house, anyway" so I bought one along with the polishing kit. For sharpening, after reading a bit, I got a naniwa 1000/3000 combo stone and a belgian blue (for finishing). I've put a few good hours of work, but now I have a clean razor and I've shaved 3 times with it and lived, lol. Now I'm waiting for another old banger, from ebay this time

So, IMO you can start cheap and small without breaking the bank and see where you go from there.

Regards & good luck!
